I saw the movie so I didn't need to watch your clip but that thing went on for waaaaaaaaaayyyyy to long.

Could be that was the appeal for you.

Actually, I like it because it's a lot closer to what actual car chases are like. It's not howling tires and people making lots of turns in center-city grids. It's moaning engines as people accelerate as hard as they can. It's people getting going as fast as they can on a freeway or other such straight line so that they can lose the person chasing them. It's not people hanging off a running board emptying the magazine of an Uzi; it's the occasional random pot-shot in hopes of either hitting a driver or disabling the car. And, like most car chases, this one ends with the chased getting away. Seldom do car chases actually end up with someone catching the chased car unless that car gets disabled somehow. That's why cops put so much money and effort into actually stopping cars they are chasing these days with stuff like spike strips and those little rocket-powered doohickeys that blow a hole in the oil pan and such.
